India condemns Canada for celebrating assassination of former PMs.

TL;DR Summary
India has criticized Canada for allowing a parade float depicting the 1984 assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards, which is perceived to glorify violence by Sikh separatists. The tableau showed Gandhi wearing a blood-stained white saree with her hands up as turban-clad men pointed guns at her. Canada's High Commissioner in India condemned the incident, and several members of Gandhi's Congress party demanded action from the Indian government. The storming of the holiest Sikh temple in India in 1984, which led to Gandhi's assassination, remains a contentious issue among Sikhs worldwide.
